VERSE 3:
I [Cm] never missed a [A#] day, nor went on [G#] strike for higher [Cm] pay
For [G#] twenty years I [A#] served them best I [Cm] could
Now with a [Cm] handshake and a [A#] cheque, it seems so [G#] easy to for-[Cm]-get
[G#] Loyalty through the [A#] bad times and through [Cm] good

VERSE 4:
Now the [G#] owner says he's [A#] sad, to see that [D#] things have got so [Cm] bad
But the [G#] captains of industry won't let him [G] lose
He [Cm] still drives a [A#] car, and [G#] smokes his [Cm] cigar
And [G#] still he takes his [A#] family on a [Cm] cruise

CHORUS:
He'll never [G#] lose [A#] [Cm] // [G#] [A#] [Cm]

VERSE 5:
Well it [Cm] seems to [A#] me, such a [G#] cruel iron-[Cm]-y
He's [G#] richer now than [A#] ever he was be-[Cm]-fore
[Cm] Now my cheque is [A#] spent, and I [G#] can't afford the [Cm] rent
There's [G#] one law for the [A#] rich, one for the [Cm] poor

VERSE 6:
[G#] Everyday I've [A#] tried to [D#] salvage some of my [Cm] pride
To [G#] find some work so's I might pay my [G] way
Oh [Cm] but everywhere I [A#] go, the [G#] answer's always [Cm] no
There's [G#] no work for [A#] anyone here to-[Cm]-day

CHORUS:
No work to-[G#]-day [A#] [Cm] // [G#] [A#] [G#] [A#]

VERSE 7:
And [Cm] so condemned I [A#] stand, just an [G#] ordinary [Cm] man
Like [G#] thousands be-[A#]-side me in the [Cm] queue
I [Cm] watch my darling [A#] wife, trying to [G#] make the best of [Cm] life
And [G#] God knows what the [A#] kids are going to [Cm] do

VERSE 8:
Now [G#] that we are [A#] faced, with [D#] this human [Cm] waste
A [G#] generation cast a-[G7]-side
And as [Cm] long as I [A#] live, I [G#] never will for [Cm] give
You've [G#] stripped me of my [A#] dignity and [Cm] pride

OUTRO:
You've stripped me [G#] bare [A#] [Cm]
You've stripped me [G#] bare [A#] [Cm]
you've stripped me [G#] bare [A#] [Cm]
[G#] [A#] [Cm] : [Multiple Times] // [Cm open]
